Your Apple Watch is the cadence sensor. No $50 hardware required. Cadence Sensor turns the Apple Watch on your ankle — or strapped to your bike's crank arm — into a Bluetooth cycling cadence sensor — and broadcasts it to your VR headset and fitness apps as a standard sensor they detect automatically. Strap on your watch, pedal any bike, and ride. HOW IT WORKS • Wear your Apple Watch on your ankle — or strap it to your bike's crank arm • It counts every pedal revolution • Your iPhone broadcasts it as a standard Bluetooth cadence sensor • Your VR headset connects — and your legs drive the ride NO WATCH? NO PROBLEM Strap your iPhone to your ankle instead. Its motion sensors measure your cadence as a backup — same broadcast, no extra gear. WORKS WITH YOUR VR WORLD Cadence Sensor advertises as a standard Bluetooth Cycling Speed & Cadence (CSC) sensor, so it works with VZfit, Holofit, and any app or headset that reads a real cadence sensor — Meta Quest, Apple Vision Pro, Pico and more. If your app pairs with a bike cadence sensor, it pairs with this. WHY RIDERS LOVE IT • Save $50+ on a dedicated cadence sensor • No dongles, no straps, no extra hardware to charge • Tune sensitivity and max RPM for a smooth, accurate signal • Live cadence readout, haptic per-rev feedback, and calibration • Two premium looks — Orbit and Ripple — with a dark, focused UI ONE-TIME PURCHASE Unlock everything once. No subscription, no monthly fees. Pay once, it's yours forever. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no sign-up. Your cadence is broadcast locally over Bluetooth and never leaves your devices. No ads and no cross-app tracking. Grab your watch, mount your phone, and turn any bike into a VR cadence controller today. Cadence Sensor is a fitness accessory, not a medical device.
